The One created us perfect, and so we are perfect. We have always been perfect and always will be perfect. When we believe we can be sick, we have placed other gods before the One and have made up the god of sickness replacing our allegiance to the One with our allegiance to the one we made up. Remember, the Course has taught us we cannot place our allegiance in two conflicting ideas. Which do we choose? We are attempting to reconcile the irreconcilable! To believe that making the body whole will make us whole is attempting to reconcile the irreconcilable.
First of all, let me say that there is nothing wrong with healing the body. It has its time and place, even in our plan for salvation. But, healing the body is not the same as healing the mind. The healing of the mind is the end of separation, the joining of minds into the awareness of the unity of the One Mind of the One. There is no magic pill, no magic list of steps to be taken that when ticked off result in the healing of the separation. Healing comes in the decision to stop deciding against the One and to return to the awareness of who we really are. As long as we maintain our allegiance to the gods of sickness and separation we made up, we are afraid of them because they cannot be reconciled with the Will of the One which is also our own true Will. The gods of separation we made up cannot be reconciled with who we really are. And when we attack the gods we made up, we make them appear real to us. Is it any wonder we feel conflicted? Yet, if we refuse to worship those made up gods in whatever form they appear to us, they disappear into the nothingness out of which they were made.
Reality can dawn only on an unclouded mind. We must be clear that we want to know the reality of who we are. Our One Mind is definitely unclouded. It is clear as a bell. There is no chaos there. Yet we are helpless as to how to sort out all the stuff that is going on in our minds. It all seems so confusing and we are at a loss as to which way to turn. Why isn’t my mind as clear and certain as the Course says it is? It really is that clear and the simple way to that clarity is total surrender to the guidance or Spirit, the plan the One gave us for healing the sickness of the mind. Instead of fighting everything, let go of everything. Let go of the need to control every little detail of our journey in this world and begin to see the big picture through the eyes of Spirit. Perception, which is how we see the world, has infinite ways of seeing everything we experience. Spirit’s guidance will help us see the highest perception of our journey and guide us to the awareness of who we really are. The laws of the One have made our wholeness certain and changeless.
The chaos we seem to feel in this world is meaningless when we realize it is without the One. We may have relinquished the awareness of our peace to the gods of separation and sickness, but our peace is always with us and cannot be given away. Peace can only be shared as it is real. Surrender all today to Spirit and allow the peace of the One to wash away all traces of the gods of sickness and separation into the nothingness they came from. Such is the end of sickness.
